6AMRun.com & Guest - Josh Dillingham

Join 6AMRun.com Founder & CEO Hami Mahani, & co-host Ari F. as we introduce you to Josh Dillingham. Over the course of my basketball career, I suffered my fair share of serious injuries. But, the toughest injury I suffered was the identity crisis I experienced when my career was over. I was so focused on the title of becoming a "professional athlete", that I never thought about the end goal of what I wanted to create in life. For most of my life, I saw sport as the only way I could create success in life. I was selling myself short, putting myself in a box. When it was time for a new journey and an identity shift, I realized that I had to understand where I ultimately wanted to be in life and who I wanted to become. That way, I could be flexible with the journey it took to get there while still applying the same skills and principles that I used in athletics. Now, I spend my time inspiring and impacting others by constantly improving myself and not being defined by a “title”. I produce and host a podcast with a good friend and mentor of mine, Mason Eddy, called Playing Injured. Which is all about taking the path with the most resistance and turning your adversity into your advantage. On the show, we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing top entrepreneurs, authors, entertainers, and former/current professional athletes. Some of our guests include Evan Carmichael, Anthony Trucks, Mark Metry & Jevon Carter of the Brooklyn Nets. By day, I work as Scrum Master inspiring teams, inspecting and adapting processes, and collaborating with stakeholders to deliver powerful, business-transforming applications for Synchrony, the world’s largest private-label credit card company.
